Greetings!
There is only one week left to see the special summer art exhibit hanging in the library. Drawing Us In: The Art of Book Poster
Design features a selection of contemporary book posters
used to advertise the publication of new releases. Many of the featured
authors are residents of New England, and quite a few of the posters
have been signed. Perhaps you will be inspired to sample the work of
an author you have never read before!
